Lumiscope
1083N Finger Blood Pressure Monitor
Home monitoring can help detect
dangerous blood pressure spikes before they cause problems. Tracking blood
pressure over time also gives a better overall picture of health than a
single reading at a hospital or clinic, where nervousness can often distort
results. The easier the measurement process, the easier it is to commit
to this small daily routine--and there's no simpler model to use than a
finger blood-pressure monitor, especially if you need to take the readings
yourself. Simply insert an index finger and adjust the positioning slide
to make it fit snugly, then press the start button to make the finger cuff
automatically inflate. |

Atkins
for Life
by
Robert C. Atkins
It is bread and not butter that
is the enemy in Dr. Atkins's popular and controversial low-carbohydrate/high-fat
diet. In In Atkins for Life, he continues his decades-long crusade against
low-fat eating. Atkins argues that low-fat meals are high-carbohydrate
missiles, causing the body to produce excess insulin, which then produces
fat, slows down metabolism, and tips the scale. Instead, he urges readers
to stop counting calories and fat grams and start counting carbs to rev
up their metabolism and burn fat as an energy source.
The question of whether
"ketosis," the fat meltdown he advocates, is healthy or harmful is a central
question of this sequel to the bestselling Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution. |
